Torbay Athletic Club was formed in 1970 when Paignton Athletic Club merged with Torquay Athletic Club. We are affiliated to England Athletics for road running, multi terrain running, cross country running and track and field events. We have qualified coaches for our running, track and field sessions

Torbay Tri Club was formed 2007 and is affiliated to Triathlon England and Cycle Time Trial for multi sport like triathlons, duathlons, aquathlons and cycling. Many of our members join the Mid Devon Cycle Club to

compliment their training. Membership cost £15 per year. www.mdcc.org.uk . We have BTF

qualified coaches for our triathlon sessions. We organise our own coach pool swims on Wednesday evenings from October to May at Brixham Pool. Our members also attend triathlon pool swims organised by Torquay Leander Swim Club on Tuesday mornings from Plainmoor Pool.

We are the biggest and most successful running and triathlon club in Torbay and South Devon area. Most of our members live in Torbay but we also have many members living in Totnes, Newton Abbot, Teignmouth, Dawlish, Exeter and beyond.

Ideal for people who would like to take up running to get fitter and will start out using a walk/run training plan, where the first few weeks you will walk more then run and gradually the walking breaks get shorter and shorter and the running parts longer. The first few weeks will take around 30 minutes.

Once beginners can run 5 miles with out having to stop they are ready and welcome to try our group level 2 improvers session. This is an endurance run on a Tuesday or try our Thursday speed session. Try a session for free before deciding to join Torbay Athletic club.

Hi Rose
Unfortunately the nearest track is Exeter Arena (25 miles) and Plymouth Brixfields (40 miles).
Torbay Athetic Club only has a grass track from May to October. During the winter we do speed work on Torquay Seafront. We have many junior and some senior members doing the Devon Open track and field series which is during the Summer. Considering Torbay Athletic Club does not have a real all weather track and field facilities we did amazingly well this year beating Exeter and Plymouth clubs finish 3rd out of the 12 clubs. North Devon and Tavistoke (1st and 2nd) both have all weather track facilities. Torbay results at Devon Open http://www.torbayaac.co.uk/devon-open-track/ We really need a track in South Devon, very sad considering the population of Torbay is over 135000. We have 160 juniors and about 175 seniors members. There will be a new 5k parkrun starting on New Year Eve 9am at the Torbay Velopark in Paignton. This event will be every Saturday 9am and details will be available on the parkrun website from 9th December.

Hi, I’ll be down in Torquay this summer 16th-24th July and was hoping to be able to find a race while I’m down there, preferably local to Torquay. Do you know of anything that will be going on around then? Will be bringing my Congleton Harriers vest with me for a bit of Devon sun 🙂
thanks in advance

Hi Hayden
Please email Eve Bates ebates@hotmail.co.uk
Theres a waiting list for Track and Field junior groups.
If you prefer to do distance road running, cross country, fun runs there a junior endurance group.
Best you let Eve know what type of running you want to do. The waiting list for endurance maybe much shorter then track and field

Hi I am interested in joining the club as I need to do some serious training having entered the Black Pool Tri in June (this June). Currently doing training on my own. Urgent :-/ Who can I speak to to get on board? From George in the fast lane going slow. Tel 07818405088

Hi I’m interested in joining the club at level 5. I live in Dartmouth and work away quite a bit which makes things tricky, but not impossible to make it to some mid week sessions. Are there any official or unofficial groups running on Saturday mornings? I’m signed up for Berlin marathon and want a sub 3 time so I’m really after help and coaching to make me ready!

Hi, My 8 year old son would like to join your juniors club please. I have emailed your club and spoke to Steve Cottel in June last year and also had an email reply from MS Anita in June saying Aarin will be put on a waiting list. Many thanks.

Easiest Session is a Thursday, we meet at Riviera Centre for a 6:30pm.

We jog out from Riviera Centre at 6:35 to Compass point (6:40pm aprox) which is marked on the ground between Princess Theatre and Pier. (1 kilometre)

We then do some simple warm up exercises.

We will then do some efforts with recoveries and it will be along the promenade.
Everyone regroups and you go at your own pace. There no pressure to perform. You can decide when you have had enough and jog/walk back to Riviera Centre.

Each member decides how fast and many loops they want to do depending on their level of fitness and how they feeling. Theres no pressure to over train.

We use the Swimming pool changing rooms down stairs at Riviera Centre. You will need a £1 coin for a locker (Refundable)

Parking is expensive so best park on Avenue Road and walk up.

Members do get a free parking permit.
